The People’s Climate March – as it happened

Thank you, London.

You turned out in your thousands on a windy November day to be part of something truly exceptional. As world leaders started gathering in Paris for a crucial climate summit, you made history – well over half a million people worldwide marched in the biggest ever global show of support for climate action.

But the weather couldn’t stop us. As the march began to move, there was a feeling of warmth and celebration as dozens of organisations and thousands of people came together in support for action on climate change.

Thank you so much for joining us – for marching, for dancing, for cheering and for telling everyone that the things we love must be protected from climate change. We were part of something huge, and we’ve shown world leaders at a crucial moment that hundreds and thousands of people around the globe want climate action now.
